melissa: some shocking news out of greece now. uninnded consequence of its 2 dal billion euro health care debt is making it nearly impossible for hospitals touy basic supplies like gloves, syringes, letalone crucial medications. on top of that massive layoffs mean fewer doctors and nurses are treating more patients. the severe lack of medical supplies is making much more easy for disease to spread especially from a country whose main industry is tourism. we have lee vinokur from louisiana university shreveport. thanks for joining us. >> my pleasure. melissa: how serious of a problem is this? >> it is a true greek tragedy because the greeks were somewhat responsible. at one point their health care system covered evybody for everything, the most expensive medicines. it was 10% of their gdp. and then the imf put them on strict austerity. they had a huge debt. they were borrowing a lot to cover medications and such. and the austerity budget really cut back to the point where kids an't getting vaccinated now. there is no vaccinations.
